To replace global oil usage with solar energy, an area of approximately 1.5 to 3 million square kilometers of solar panels would be needed, depending on the efficiency of the panels and the energy conversion rates. This area represents about 1-2% of the world's land surface. However, the actual implementation would require considering factors like geographic location, energy storage, and infrastructure for distribution. Additionally, advancements in technology could reduce the needed area over time.

How much would it cost to replace Fukushima with solar panels?

Fukushima Generates around 13,000 Mega watts of electricity. You need 434 Solar Panels for 1 Mega Watts. Calculation 434 Multiplied by 13,000 Equals to 5,642,000 Solar Panels. Cost of 1 solar panel 3,500 $ So 3,500 Multiplied by 5,642,000 = 14,747,000,000 USD. A single Nuclear Powerplant costs 400 Million USD.

How much land area would be covered by solar panels to replace Fukushima?

Fukushima generated 3,400 MW on average. One of the world's largest solar power plants is Agua Caliente Solar Project, which generates 626 GW·h / yr = 71 MW on average. So it would take 48 of the world's largest solar power plants to replace the Fukushima plant. Agua Caliente takes up 2,400 acres, so the total amount of land area required to replace Fukushima with solar panels is 2400*48 = 114,500 acres, which is about half the area of Hong Kong, or 132 times the area of the Fukushima plant.
